Founded in 2015, Aboitiz InfraCapital is committed to building transformative infrastructure ecosystems that enable businesses and uplift communities as a catalyst for nationwide economic growth, leveraging on additional synergies with the Aboitiz Group under #OneNewAboitiz. Our strategic operations are in diverse yet interconnected businesses spanning Economic Estates, Water, Digital Infrastructure, and Transport and Mobility.

Our current business units include Economic Estates or industrial anchored economic estates in the country, which counts in its roster the sprawling LIMA Estate in Batangas, as well as MEZ2 (Mactan Economic Zone 2) Estate and West Cebu Estate in Cebu and TARI Estate in Tarlac; Apo Agua Infrastructura, Inc. in Davao City which manages the country’s largest operating private bulk water supply facility; LIMA Water Corporation, the end-to-end water and wastewater services provider of our Economic Estates; and Unity Digital Infrastructure, Inc., a joint-venture with the Partners Group and a builder and operator of telecommunication towers across the country.

Under our Airports platform, we operate and manage the award-winning Mactan-Cebu International Airport, the country’s second busiest gateway. We also manage the concession to upgrade, operate, and maintain Laguindingan International Airport in Misamis Oriental, the country’s sixth-busiest gateway, with the official takeover scheduled for April 2025.

We also have a minority stake in Balibago Waterworks System, Inc., the fourth-largest private water utilities distributor in the country.

At present, AIC is focused on developing economic estates, water, transport and mobility, and digital infrastructure throughout the Philippines. It is also a participant in a variety of development projects in partnership with various private and public organizations.

AIC is currently positioning itself to be a trusted provider of water security solutions throughout the Philippines. At present, it fully owns LIMA Water Corporation (LWC) in Malvar, Batangas; a majority shareholder in Apo Agua Infrastructura, Inc. in Davao City, operator of the country’s largest operating bulk water facility; and a minority shareholder in Balibago Waterworks System, Inc. (BWSI), the country’s fourth-largest water distribution utility.

Aboitiz InfraCapital has a track record of introducing several water infrastructure innovations through all its investments and projects. Apo Agua, for example, uses hydroelectric power to supply green energy to a water treatment plant on the Tamugan River, which, in turn, feeds into the Davao City Water District’s reservoirs. This will afford Davaoeños a sustainable source of clean water for decades with almost zero carbon emissions generated for the water treatment process.

In Malvar, Batangas, AIC-owned LWC has the distinction of being one of the very few end-to-end water service providers in the Philippines, producing, distributing, and treating water for LIMA Estate, the largest privately held PEZA zone in the country. With over 180 locators, over 4,000 households, and over 74,000 employees, LIMA Estate has the population and size of a large municipality, giving Aboitiz InfraCapital a way to effectively validate various water security innovations.

AIC is also currently validating cutting-edge water monitoring and automation systems at LIMA Estate. These high-tech solutions have enabled AIC to dramatically reduce waste and improve system efficiency compared to other water infrastructure systems in similar-sized water districts.

Lastly, this know-how is also already being used to improve service at BWSI’s various water utility systems in 20 provinces. Today, BWSI is widely considered to be the most efficient water service provider in the Philippines.

These days, international investors are looking for more than just low-cost labor and tax breaks. They expect a full range of reliable utilities and services to support their operations.

AIC and other components of AEV can deliver these and more. Sustainable electric power, full-service construction capabilities, reliable water delivery, high-speed broadband connectivity, and top-of-the-line logistics infrastructure are all available at AIC economic estates. All estates also feature well-trained emergency response teams to respond to any untoward event.

All AIC economic estates also have world-class living and entertainment accommodations for residents and visitors alike. These estates feature retail establishments, hospitals, schools, and even churches, making them valuable additions to neighboring communities.

Lastly, all AIC Economic estates are strategically located within a short distance of the country’s major urban centers and logistics links while still being in areas with reasonable living costs. This gives locators maximum convenience and allows them to easily attract and retain top talents.

Presently, the company is engaged in the deployment of small cell sites and has a stake in Unity Digital Infrastructure, Inc., a common tower developer.

Unity Digital facilitates AIC’s foray into the common tower business. Common towers are communications towers that can serve multiple telcos. This business model was made possible by the rollout of the common tower policy, which allows independent providers like Unity Digital to develop and maintain towers for the country’s various telecommunications providers.

Small cell sites, meanwhile, are an emerging low-cost technology that can quickly plug coverage gaps in 5G networks, particularly in densely-populated areas with line-of-sight obstructions and high data demand. These compact, low-power radio access points are ideal for providing key areas with additional broadband capacity while also reducing full-size cell site redundancy. Presently, there are a growing number of small cell sites at Lipa-Malvar, Subic, Cebu, Cotabato, and Davao, with more slated to be set up in other high-demand areas.

To help connect people and communities across the country and the world, Aboitiz InfraCapital is pursuing various transport solution projects in partnership with some of the world’s best technical experts.

At present, Aboitiz InfraCapital operates the award-winning Mactan-Cebu International Airport in Lapu-Lapu City, Cebu, and manages the concession agreement to operate, upgrade, and maintain Laguindingan International Airport in Laguindingan, Misamis Oriental, with a scheduled turnover in April 2025.

All of AIC’s decisions are guided by a unique CSR and sustainability framework that equally emphasizes People, Planet, and Profit. This “Three Ps” approach helps ensure that all of AIC’s projects are developed and maintained in a way that benefits all stakeholders, including employees, surrounding communities, customers, investors, and the environment.

This approach helps Aboitiz InfraCapital maintain consistency in its efforts to be a sustainable and socially conscious organization. This, in turn, allows the company to continuously generate value, not just for shareholders, but for all Filipinos as well.
